    As someone from the alphabet soup community, I don't think things are going to be that bad. But if Im going to ramble on further it will be on either dovenet or fidonet for further explanation.

    Don't be scared, all will be okay, strange and things will keep on making us angry but we'll be fine.

    Tonight I had a water leak and it poured through two ceilings, but things will get fixed.

    Get outside, talk to people, enjoy a coffee, relax and look after yourself.

    Love, Dundarach, Hull, U.K.

    I understand your worry, but I hope and think that the POTUS won't affect us as much as the media tells us. We're going to be OK - even if we don't align with the politics. You're safe, mary4.

    First off, you have no idea what mary is going through. If everything went great for you last time, good job, you're the 1%.

    I remember the previous term all to well, and it wasn't easy for the majority of us. This one is set to be worse because now he has a lapdog for a VP, and Musk is running the rest.

    Together, we can be a voice for what both sides need out of the admin.

    I, for one, actually believe that the 2nd Trump admin is going to YES; make a lot of changes rapidly - but I think in the latter part he will want to create a legacy and NOT do the crazy things...

    I don't think this admin will 'go after' individuals at all - I literally think it DOESN'T want to repeat whats happened to them over the past four years...

    My point about together is that I hope we ALL talk more, lobby louder and demand that the gov works for all of us. It can be done.

    He isn't US born. Because he is not an elected official, I know of no requirements that he be US born to be a cabinet member.

    Presidents and, IIRC, Senators have to be US born. Representatives
    apparently do not.

    Not defending Musk. He runs some successful businesses but seems to lack people skills, quite possibly even basic ones. I do not feel he really
    has any business being involved in government, no matter who the President
    is.

    ... most likely exactly what his first POTUS looked like - although *I* have the feeling that later in term he's even going to try and appeal to the other side in order to create his POTUS legacy... thats just my feeling, but I think he's going to surprise his opposition in the end.

    I am sure we will see a lot of people fall as Al Capone did.

    They attacked Al Capone because he was Mafia, but he could not get him because of that, so they figured out some other charge to use to take him down.

    Meanwhile you can be sure modern politicians will tear people down because they are opposition, but since being opposition is not a crime, they will find some charge for each to take them down. The technique works because anybody political is dirty one way or another, it is just a matter of finding each individual's weakness.

    This stuff has been going on for a while on all sides of the political spectrum and I fail to be sympathetic towards anybody who gets canned this way.

    Biden pardoned people threatened with criminal prosecution as

    But - if there was no criminality, theres nothing to pardon. I sometimes think I'm in some weird world where what the democrats are saying a Trump admin WILL do is what THEY just did...

    I haven't seen a Trump admin go after anyone - but I've seen the past admin go at Trump from EVERY angle other than one where Trump broke a law. I believe that the lawfare was committed by the Biden admin for the past 3 years...

    What if information/investigations prove that Biden pardon receivers committed actual crimes? Will we at least agree that pardoning them, in that case, was a horrible miscarriage of [true] justice???

    It just sets the theme that all forthcoming POTUS's follow Biden's unethical pardoning of all family members, anyone who's committed crimes for your administration - and anyone else they choose to. The republic is over at that point...

    Trump did break the law, at least a grand jury thought he did and recommended indictments against him.

    Trump may have been cleared at trial if the evidence was weak but now that may never happen.

    His new cabinet has not been sworn in yet. Let's see what the Trump admin actually does.

    I believe that the lawfare was committed by the Biden admin for the past 3 years...

    What does "lawfare" mean?

    There is no evidence that Biden committed lawfare or any crime for that matter.

    What if information/investigations prove that Biden pardon receivers committed actual crimes? Will we at least agree that pardoning them, in that case, was a horrible miscarriage of [true] justice???

    I have a feeling that many of the pardons will get some legal scrutiny.

    My understanding is that you can't pardon someone for that they MIGHT have done. Only what they did. So if they claim that they didn't do anything, can they keep the pardon? You can't pardon someone for what they might do in the future either.

    I've also heard from some legal scholars that a pardon blocks a 5th Amendment claim. So if they put these people on the stand and ask them questions about their crimes, they can't refuse to speak because they have the pardon to protect them from the consequences. And refusal to testify is a different crime that they aren't pardoned on.

    It just sets the theme that all forthcoming POTUS's follow Biden's unethical pardoning of all family members, anyone who's committed
    crimes for your administration - and anyone else they choose to. The republic is over at that point...

    Just like Biden set the theme that it's OK to jail your political opponents (and anyone else you don't like).

    I am sure we will see a lot of people fall as Al Capone did.

    They attacked Al Capone because he was Mafia, but he could not get him because
    of that, so they figured out some other charge to use to take him down.

    Tax evasion, which he was apparently guilty of.

    This stuff has been going on for a while on all sides of the political spectru
    and I fail to be sympathetic towards anybody who gets canned this way.

    If they were appointed politically, they serve at the will of the administration. When that administration changes, they are likely to be replaced. They know that going in, but that has never stopped a few from crying "foul" when they later get dismissed.

    And some -- his relatives -- that apparently were not.

    Quotes by Trump, Comey, et. al. contradict your claim.

    Your conclusion is reductive at best.

    My understanding is that you can't pardon someone for that they MIGHT
    have done. Only what they did. So if they claim that they didn't do anything, can they keep the pardon? You can't pardon someone for what they might do in the future either.

    I wish we'd go back to the days where everyone knows that they're corrupt but we don't use the media machine, justice department and racism [Just in a new way]... but I don't think we're going back.

    I was thinking of people using law enforcement with partisan goals. Somebody else in this place called it lawfare. I like the term.

    For a practical example, just check Spain. We have a "Governor" (not exactly a governor, but for the American audiences it will serve as an aproximation) from the People's Party (Christian demo-liberals). The national administration (Socialist) hates her guts so they have been trying to take her down by linking her to an irregularity regarding medical supplies her brother might have been involved with.

    I am sure investigation will find _something_, but it is clear to me there would not be so much energy and effort poured into this if it was not a political process at all.

    Then, conservatives started funding and carrying out investigations against the Prime Minister's wife for illicit abuse of power and traffic of favors, among other things, as a counter attack.

    The fun part is socialists started screaming bloody murder because the only reason why they were after the Prime Minister's wife is because of politics, and that honorable politicians don't resort to those dirty tricks. Which is probably correct.

    IMO a reason why Spanish socialists are getting nervous regarding this stuff is because conservatives have started using the immoral, dirty and treasonous methods only the socialist party used to leverage. Political lawfare is just one of them.

    Probably not.

    I'd push for a new Constutitional Convention to put more restrictions on the Gov't, but I wouldn't trust anyone in the Convention to have the people's best interests at heart.

    You replied to me, but that is Arelor's quote, FWIW. Capone was violent, likely a sociopath, and luckily also a tax cheat.
